From a New York Times article following a US Army platoon near Mahmudiya in Iraq --
After about 15 minutes, they came across a one-story stone house with a wide grass lawn, a cattle pen and five young men whom the Iraqi soldiers had lined up against a wall. Their names were checked against a list of insurgents wanted for questioning in relation to the May 12 attack.
None of their names appeared, but Captain Abercrombie ordered them arrested anyway, in light of the bomb attack that morning.
“I’m detaining them all,” he said. “For proximity.”
